Today on BRING IT IN TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott and David Thorpe talk about winning the Finals.
A while ago on BRING IT IN, the Suns had won eight playoff games in a row, and Henry said he thought they’d win the title. But David has long seen big potential in the Bucks, and has ideas about how the Bucks could still win it all. Things we discuss:
* FiveThirtyEight has the Suns odds of winning the Finals at almost 80 percent.

* A pretty chart on the evolution of the mid-range.
* How billionaires use sports teams to reduce their tax bills.
* Kyle Kuzma says he can average 25, but “it’s hard to be consistent in an inconsistent role.”
